Billet Grille on a 2003 GLE?

All of the billet grilles on eBay and such specifically state that they are NOT for the GLE - only SE and GXE. Can anyone provide further insight as to why this is? More importantly, where can I find a billet grille that WILL fit a 2003 GLE? Thank you!

It will fit.

Probably cause the GLE's were produced in smaller numbers

I still think it's strange that they would post such a thing. You would think the manufacturers would want to sell as many grilles as possible and avoid that disclaimer altogether. It's almost as if the GLE has different mounting points/screw holes than the SE/GXE... I'm still skiddish.

It's because the GLE grill is an ever so lightly different shade of titanium, called off-titanium.

Hello all! This mostly helps my problem. I have a 2002 GLE and I have found one that will fit the top but the bottom is the problem. Nothing will fit the 02 GLE on the bottom. Why? and where can I find one that will fit?
